Novoye Russkoye Slovo, America’s largest Russian-language newspaper, recently completed its first year featuring FREE’s Jewish Heritage Page on the weekly Torah portion.
The pages, which run every Monday, contain a brief outline of the weekly Torah portion with insightful commentaries and practical lessons. These Torah teachings are then further elucidated in Russian by FREE’s staff, directed by Yaakov Prokopetz, with the goal of bringing the Torah to an untold number of Jews who have not been privy to its richness. “I have seen a definite interest in this feature,” says Novoye Russkoye Slovo CEO, Mr. Valerie Weinberg, “we sell more papers on the day it runs.”
